As many of you know 192 of Durham's most vulnerable seniors where made homeless yesterday after a fire ravaged Fairview Lodge in Whitby. The new facility being built adjacent to this property was originally to be completed in September of this year, but due to delays will not be ready till January 2015.

The staff and residents have been dispersed throughout Durham and are being warehoused in facilities that are already at or over capacity. Our City, Regional and Provincial Governments need to respond by having construction crews working around the clock to finish their new home so these seniors can be returned to living conditions that we would all want for our loved ones.

Many residents are scared and confused and all they owned in the world is gone. Please help today by:
